The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2107

Amelia (Odelia?) and Louisa had been best friends for years, and the birthday party Amelia (Odelia?) had been planning was set to run from 2 PM to 10 PM. She had told Louisa that any time would do, but now it was already 8 PM and there was still no sign of her. Amelia (Odelia?) was holding off on the cake cutting until they arrived...

"I heard from my parents that they left the house at 1:30 PM," Arabella responded.

"Louisa texted me around 1:30 too, saying they were on their way. But when I hadn't heard from them by 3 PM, I texted and got no reply. I tried calling at 4, and neither of them picked up. I haven't been able to reach them since... So you're saying they're not at home?" Amelia couldn't help but worry.

"That's right."

"What if something happened... Don't freak me out. I know the Collins family has been having a rough time lately..."

"Don't worry, Odelia, I'll give them a call. If they don't answer, I'll have someone look for them."

"Okay... give me a call back later with an update, will you?"

"Will do."

After hanging up, Arabella pulled out her cell and dialed Louisa's number.

To her surprise, the call connected after a few moments!

A voice tinged with amusement came through, "Finally noticed your parents are missing?"

"Serena?" Arabella was irked, "Where have you taken my parents?"

No need to guess, Kenneth was with her too.

"It's been too long since we had a heart-to-heart, sis. I'll send you a location, come alone," Serena's voice came with a smile that carried a stern warning, "I don't want to see anyone else there."

It was Amos, the head of the bodyguard team that usually escorted Kenneth and Louisa.

Amos's cries were full of unbearable pain and despair.

Only extreme "torture" could force such sounds from someone with Amos's tolerance for pain...

Serena's cold laughter filled the earpiece, "This is what happens when you call for help!"

A picture came through, showing Amos with a gaping wound in his stomach, his intestines pulled out...

The scene was gruesome, blood was everywhere...

Beyond the stomach wound, his body was covered in slashes...
